quarter life crisis (an origin story)

St.Paul/Minneapolis rock/emo/pop/punk cover band. We are very good at being average and very average at being good. We like to give ourselves a hard time and not take things to seriously (hence the name quarter life crisis) but that doesn't mean we don't put on one of the most high energy - fun shows in the area.

While most cover bands are heard in the background or talked over, we put on a show that makes you want to relive your teenage angst and get to the front row! We have compiled the perfect 40+ song setlist, all from the early 2000's - to transport our listeners back to their myspace days. Don't believe us... Check out our live show videos.

Starting in Xander’s basement - we are all passionate self taught musicians, that started playing together to relive the music that we grew up loving. Going from not even thinking we would ever play in front of people together to now having a website… i would say we made it big time. Don’t worry the fame, fortune, and Taylor Swift opening up for us has not changed us or our character AT ALL. We are still the same humble, smart, humble, attractive, and humble guys we have always been.
